So the last post was on my return from a break and here I am writing as I am about to depart on another – it is a teeny weeny bit of work and more a lot of pleasure. We are heading to France for a yarny garden party, the we being actually a Royal [...]
the sea
So I did find some space, it was here By day, it looked like that By evening it looked like this Sea and space, there are other beaches in between and there are other spaces as well to stay but these two are my perfect matches. [...]
Silence and space
There has been silence here, but not silence in my life and that was what I was looking for, some silence and space. It’s probably a bit like the grass being greener on the other side but really my head was just so full of information and ideas and things happening that were beyond [...]
Sharpening things up
Yes, there are a lot of things that could be doing with being sharpened up in my life ~ that reminds me of that that love quote from Blackadder, when Blackadder says to Queenie "life without you is like a blunt pencil without a sharpener ~ pointless" but I am digressing here a little. [...]

The Saltire
It seems very fitting that it’s today that you get to see the Saltire Mitts, being St Andrews Day and all. I was getting carried away about the ideas of all things Scottish, remembering why I loved drinking Irn Bru so much as a treat when I was younger just so I could practise my [...]
lots of secrets
Silence on here isn’t that I have run out of anything to say but that there hasn’t been time to say much – since Nuit Blanche, we have hung two exhibitions, worked on a secret work project, did a 3 day art fair, ran a lantern parade, launched a new event and art auction, looked at [...]
Nuit Blanche
Counting down to Nuit Blanche. Nuit Blanche is an exciting "cultural all-nighter" presenting contemporary art events from dusk to dawn. It enlivens cities all round the world such as Paris, Berlin and Toronto, and 2010 is the debut for Reading. This first year will be a small but magical series of indoor and outdoor events [...]
I will be at The Secret Market, Saturday 4 Feb
